Three central Pennsylvania counties named ‘best to retire’

(WTAJ) — Growing older doesn’t always mean packing up and finding a retirement community in Florida. In Pennsylvania, some counties are the best to retire in, according to a new report.

SmartAsset.com took a look at retiring in the state of Pennsylvania with their retirement calculator.

The company looked at tax burden — state and local taxes (income and sales) — as well as medical centers, recreation centers and retirement centers per 1,000 people to rank the ten best counties to retire in the Commonwealth.

Multiple counties in PA hit the bottom of the national rankings at 1,269 including Elk, Huntingdon, McKean, Fulton, Potter and Tioga. Cameron and Forest counties were left unranked.
